Coronavirus outbreak: Cuomo says it’s ‘not accurate’ that Trump has ‘total authority’

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday addressed President Donald Trump’s comment made Monday that he had “total authority” over when states re-open amid the COVID-19 outbreak, saying the statement was “not accurate.” He said the balance between the state and federal governments is “the essence of our democracy,” and said the country doesn’t have a “king.” He also addressed tweets by the president that appeared to criticize governors, and said it’s not time for partisanship but to work together and Trump would “have no fight with me.”
